Education

“I can definitely say how valuable it is to direct our kids to the math and science fields in Girls, Science & Technology—these are the skills that are in demand.” Phil Ebeling, VP, Chief Technology Officer

Shaping the Future by Supporting Educational Opportunities

When we help open the doors to educational opportunities for health care professionals and fellows, and make learning not only possible for kids but also fun, we know that we are doing our part to enrich lives and ultimately advance the practice of medicine.

Funding support

St. Jude Medical supports advancing medicine across the globe by encouraging requests from organizations through focused financial support for:

Fellows

Researchers

Physicians

Patient care through support of hospital and clinic programs

Continuing education for professionals and fellows

St. Jude Medical provides grants for health care professionals and fellows to further their educations in areas related to cardiac and chronic pain disease states, conditions and treatments.

Hospitals and other organizations may also request funding on behalf of an individual or to conduct certain educational programs.

We not only provide financial support that advances medical science, but we also give our time and talents to foster excitement and innovation in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Here are just a few ways we do that.

Girls, Science & Technology

This annual event at the Science Museum of Minnesota encourages girls (and boys) to explore science. Through demonstrations and conversations with volunteers, the 7,000-plus attendees learn that careers in math and science can be fun and meaningful. Our volunteers encourage kids to do things like:

Learn about heart anatomy and how the heart works

Discover the cutting-edge materials and technologies that make up our devices

Get hands-on lessons about the innovative ways doctors use our devices to help save lives

High Tech Kids FIRST™ LEGO™ League

What is more fun than LEGO™ bricks? LEGO robots! In FIRST LEGO League, student teams research a problem and then design, assemble and program LEGO robots to solve it. St. Jude Medical employees volunteer to judge or referee at tournaments and the company sponsors a local team of students. Our volunteers inspire kids to:

Tackle challenges

Put their imaginations to work

See how science, technology, engineering and math have real-life application
